NEW MILFORD - Longtime residents Dan and Betty Falls are fighting for their lives after being hit head-on last weekend while riding their motorcycle on Route 25 in Monroe.

Monroe police have yet to release the identity of the couple severely injured in an accident that occurred about 7:15 Sunday, but friends and relatives have confirmed that the Fallses were sent to St. Vincent’s Hospital in Bridgeport after the crash.

According to police, the couple was traveling north on Route 25 when a southbound Hyundai Sonata crossed the yellow line and hit their motorcycle head-on.

The Sonata’s driver, whom police did not identify, and two passengers were sent to Bridgeport Hospital to be evaluated. One passenger was admitted and the other two people in the car were released.

An official at St. Vincent’s confirmed Thursday that both Dan and Betty Falls remain in critical condition. The extent of their injuries was not available.

A GoFundMe page that has been set up by the family to help raise money for their medical costs says the couple have already undergone several surgeries and are on life support. The post also notes that the couple were on their way home from a “wonderful day” at Port Jefferson Village in New York when the accident occurred.

“These two loving individuals need all the help they can get,” the post states. “We want to make sure they have everything taken care of financially so that they can strictly focus on getting better.”
